Snow days in college aren't anything like snow days as a kid. When you're a kid snow days are the best thing ever. No school, no work, and hot chocolate made by mom after you've played outside for hours. I remember waking up as a child and sprinting out the door barely getting my snow pants on in time.
Snow days in college, honestly, are still the best thing ever. Instead of waking up and drinking hot chocolate you wake up and drink a beer. Snow days are proof that college kids will take any excuse to binge drink. Who cares if it's a Tuesday? It's a snow day, so it's time to drink.
You know we all could have used these snow filled days to do something productive. Imagine how many job applications we could have submitted? Or the grad school applications? We could have used our free time to get started on the spring break bods we swore we'd have. But no, instead we rolled around in the snow and watched Netflix shows, that we've already finished. Nothing says unproductive like re-watching a TV series. I don't know how many times I've seen all the episodes of Parks and Rec.
Here's some signs that you were just as unproductive as I was:

1. When you "stocked up" for the storm you just bought booze.

2. So now that you're snowed in you're surviving on ramen and the leftovers in the back of your freezer.

3. You didn't shovel any snow.

4. So now your car is buried in three feet of snow.

5. You've drank every day it has snowed.

6. Your parents have called you everyday to make sure you're alright.

7. You've unsuccessfully called take out places in hopes that they would deliver in the blizzard.

8. You wish you stocked up on blue gatorade before the snow hit.

9. You never went out in any appropriate snow gear, like snow pants.

10. You're hoping the roads will keep re-freezing so you can get more days off.

11. You haven't done a single bit of homework you should have been doing over the weekend.
So, sure, you didn't get anything done this past weekend, but you had a great time and that's all that counts...right?
